I'm trying to diagnose a rather strange issue. I have an LCD screen that won't sleep after I use it to view a video. Basicaly, the screen goes black, but the backlight stays on. dpms screen blanking works fine until I view a video. Now at first I thought it was an issue with, say, mplayer not resetting the dpms settings correctly. But this happens no matter what I use to view the video - mplayer, myth, even kdenlive (a video editing program). Curiously, it doesn't happen with games; at least the ones I've tried, not many, that reset the screen resolution don't have this problem. (im not a gamer, so my games are limited to tuxracer and such.) Apparenty, using xv disables dpms. And I can't turn it back on via any of the normal methods. Anyone come across this? Where do I start looking for the culprit? -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ Yan Seiner (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ Personal Trainer (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ Professional Engineer (_)\(_) ,>/'_ Who says engineers have to be pencil necked geeks?
